My last stop before leaving the Catskills was a visit to the Kartrite Resort in Monticello, NY, which is part of the Family Entertainment Group. They opened in 2019 and their Amazequest laser tag arena is all about an alien invasion on New York City. I’m ready…beam me up!
I met the manager, Lisa, who was so wonderful to coordinate a group to play in a game with me on the spot and we went in and put on our Laserforce Gen 8 packs. The game marshal took each team to start at our base, but it wasn’t long before I had made it to the other side of the arena to take aim at the opposing team’s base.
Along the way to the base I got to do some city sightseeing! :) I recently mentioned that the NYC theme is one I see interpreted frequently, but always in different ways, so I like to see what an arena does to give it a unique spin. This is certainly a novel approach.
First of all, I love how there is a beam of light that you can step into beneath this alien spaceship.
However, this prop is more than just decorative. That glowing shape above the beam is actually a generator target, smartly placed where you have to really be looking for it!
And of course there are some staples of this theme incorporated as well, like Lady Liberty…
…and the Empire State Building.
However, in this world look more closely at what is headed towards the building.
The arena was nicely done with some cool artistic touches. And one thing that caught my eye that you don’t always find in NYC was the giant galactic ray gun!
Well, it’s not the size that matters, it’s the laser…and mine has dual laser capability, thank you very much! :)
I had such a great time tagging with an enthusiastic group of young players.
I must say that I have been impressed with the laser tag arenas I have played so far at other resorts that are part of this group and The Kartrite was no exception. I look forward to the next time I get to visit a resort connected to this group. Maybe a trip to the Poconos is in my future? But today I was delighted to get to enjoy some time at The Kartrite while passing through the Catskills.
